[Tablet App - Devices-2] Homey Dashboards is finally here! :tada: Our team has truly outdone itself and shipped this grand new addition to the Homey app for iOS & Android. With many built-in widgets, an innovative column-based design that works great on both tablets and phones, a Widgets SDK for the Homey Developer Community and the same goodness for your homescreen — I’m super proud of Homey Dashboards. Creating your first Dashboard Phone On phones, navigate to More (...) → Dashboards to create your first dashboards. Alternatively, you can edit your homescreen by scrolling down and tapping ‘Customize’. This is a special homescreen dashboards that’s only accessible to you, and is saved on your phone. Tablet On tablets, navigate to Dashboards to create your first dashboards. Alternatively, you can edit your homescreen by scrolling down and tapping ‘Customize’. This is a special homescreen dashboards that’s only accessible to you, and is saved on your tablet. Pricing Homey Dashboards is included with Homey Pro (Early 2023) and Homey Cloud (Free and Premium). For Homey Pro (2016 — 2019) customers, Homey Dashboards will be available for a one-time fee of €25, similar to Advanced Flow. During the public beta, Homey Dashboards can be tested for free (as long as there’s room in iOS TestFlight). App Widgets This is for the Homey Community Developers, and it’s where the fun really starts. We’ve designed a Widgets SDK, that’s part of the Homey Apps SDK. Essentially, your Homey app can embed one or more widgets that users can choose from. Every widget is a small HTML/CSS/JS website with their own Web API. Ready to get started to create your first widget? Start by reading the documentation » To show what’s possible, here’s a widget for HUUM that I made last Friday, in just a few hours. Creating widgets is really that simple & powerful. [ScreenRecording_09-28-2024 14-55-49_1] Hall of Fame View all live apps with widgets » Frequently Asked Questions Does Homey Dashboards work locally? Homey Dashboards is part of the Homey app for iOS/Android, which works locally. So yes, if your device is part of the same Wi-Fi network as Homey Pro, Homey Dashboards does not need internet itself. But it doesn’t only work locally. You can view your dashboards from anywhere, and from any device! Why do I have to pay for Homey Dashboards as Homey Pro (2016—2019) owner? We believe that the previous generation Homey Pro is still powerful, and we just don’t like e-waste. However, we also need to put extra effort in supporting an older operating system, and that costs money. The easy way was to only publish Homey Dashboards on the current generation devices, but we feel we and the industry can do better than that, so we try to set an example. Will Homey Dashboards be coming to the Homey Web App? At this time we’d rather spend our time on building new features, than doing the same work again for web. Homey Dashboards is more performant on mobile devices, and we did expect some people to grab an old tablet from a drawer and expect it to work. If we made Homey Dashboards for web first, it simply wouldn’t have been as performant as it is now. Bugs & Problems If you encounter any issue, please let us know here in the thread!

And if everything works great, or you just want to say thanks, leave a :heart: to this post to let our team know you love Homey Dashboards!

Very content with this one: [image] Peter_Kawa: bought a new Samsung Tab A9+ (€150 11" 1920x1200 Android14) Very nice tablet!

how many columns do you have on this tablet for a dashboard.

Landscape, 3, depending on the tablet’s overall font size (normal medium size). (more colums with swipe) When the tablet’s font is set to smallest, it shows 4 columns. I hope Athom gets realistic and adds a user settable column number at some point.

Yeah I got 4 colums right after I changed the font to minimum size. The screen zoom was already at minimum as I just discovered :face_with_monocle::wink:. But the minimum font size is not really practical, for me, in respect to readability.

Exactly my question in my just created topic: [image] [Request] Dashboard with energy widgets Dashboards Hi, maybe this information is already mentioned somewhere, however I was unable to find it. Hopefully someone could update the already designed widgets. I’m creating a homey dashboard, especially for a energy overview. With the widget ‘energy usage’ it’s possible to select a energy meter and you get a nice realtime overview of the energy. Green when my solarpanels produce a lot of energy and blue when it’s cloudy and i use more power then i produce. Unfornately i can’t setup in this widget a d… Don’t know if i need to place my question over here?

Just wanted to let everyone know that if you’re looking to show live camera feeds in your dashboards: my above issue was fixed in a recent iOS update. Don’t know what happened but the streams start and keep running now, like before. Not sure who to thank, but thanks anyway for the fix!

i bought a A9+ as wel and so far i am very happy with it. i just have one smal point i like to change but i can’t find any information about it. when i leave the tablet in kiosk mode the screen wil turn off after a set time(android setting) 1 minute in my case. i like it that the screen turn of but a side effect if that the app also stops working. the next time i turn met screen back on it is ofcoure stil in kiosk mode but it need to load the widgeds again. does anyone now if there is a setting to turn the screen off but keep the tablet active? i use it in a wall mount with a charger al te time so power use is not a big deal. the other option is to not turn off the screen at al but i don’t like the look and light of that option. excuse for placing this post in the dashboard thread, i just notice there is a thread for the A9+ tabelt as wel. how can i move the message tho there?

That are standard energy savings on the tablet. You can try to set display brightness to lowest instead or turning of. But you have to tinker with a system tool for, like Tasker or Macrodroid.

Maybe when controlling the tablet with Fully browser the app stays “active”. Tbh it’s really strange we have intervene with the dashboard just when the tablet is turned on? Oh, and don’t forget the smart battery management setting, in order to have the power brick plugged in permanently: [Screenshot_20250615_160906_Device care] [image] qawsedrf57: how can i move the message tho there?
